To all lwhom 'Lt may concern: p tBe it known that I, ANDERS BERNHAED REESBERG, a citizen of theUnited States, re- ;siding at Tipton, in the county of Cedar and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in rfailors Measares, of which the following is a specificawill be hereinafterdescribed and pointedV out in the claim.

' I n the accompanying drawings :-l4`igure l is u view in side elevation, the dotted lines indicating' tlie-position of the person being measured. Fig. 2 is a view taken atright- 4angles to Fig. l or a front elevation. Fig. 3- is a transverse section on the line 3, 3, oi

'p Fig. l. Fig. 4l horizontal section through the upper measuring arm and socket.

rlhe invention gomprises 1n the main an extensible standard composed of the anemhers l ancV-, the former of which issecured n collar l is secured to thel lower end otJ the movable member 3, and a in a base 2f collar 5 is secured to the upper end ot the statxoilary member l, said collarsI being adapted to gulde the member l n1 its movement up and down, and a set screw 5 is pro- I ruled. tor holding the parts in their ad-A -justed position.

An arm 6 is provided with a tenon 7 by which it is mortised in the hole 5) forjnicd in the-'movable member 3. rlhe arm t3 is enlarged at 8 to.bracc it thi-(nigh the ilicdium 'ot' a'tenon l0 -in the corresponding mortis'e formed therethrough. A. pin- 16 holds the arin in place. `n .arm l l` is adj standard at a point above the arm 6 by means of a set screw l2. 'l

ustably held on the l The standard is provided with the usual scale or indicia -for taking measurements in inches and fractions ot' inches as shown in Fig. l.

"lhe lower measuring arm G is adapted to takethe exact measurement from the crotch down, and the upper measuring arm 11 extends at right angles to the arm t for taking measurements from the arm 6.

ln using the device, it usually placed ,lircctly in front of the person being measured with the lower measuring arin placed between the legs, and finally adpisted up into the crotch whereby the inside length ot" the legs 'of the trousers is ascertained. '.the upper arm is suitably adjusted laterally to the body whereby to obtain the hip measureinent which is noted .from the measurement as indicated upon the member 3 between the two arms. .ily adding this to the inside measurement. the length ivlill be the outside scam` ineasureii'ient. Th'e length measurement tor the front of the trousers will beireadily observable by the scale upon the standard as indicated in Fie'. l. it

will be observed Vtrom tl'ie'foregoing that the imuisurement` ot' the inside seam, the height that the trousers should be cut in Vliro11t,`aud the length ot' the outside seam oi i the trousers may be ett'ected by'on'e adjustment. As indicated in i"ig. l, the two scales namclyat the upper and lower ends of the member 3, are independent ot each other.

Having fully described my -inventioin tailor-s measure comprising a standard made 'in a vplurality of scetion's adjustably connected to each other, the uppermost scction having two separate and distinctfmcusuring scales thereon, an arm extending from the base of the upper scale and another arm l adjustable upon the section along said scale.
